Understanding How Maryland Personal Injury Cases Work

Maryland's pure contributory negligence law prevents you from obtaining compensation if you share responsibility for an accident or injury. If you qualify, an investigation should pinpoint how and why your accident happened and who caused it. To receive compensation, you must usually file an insurance claim against the at-fault party's policy, presenting the insurer with evidence proving that their policyholder's negligence directly resulted in your accident, injuries, and associated losses.

The insurer may deny your claim or offer you a settlement. However, any initial settlement offers will likely be far lower than they should be, not giving you enough money to cover your eligible damages. You can dispute a claim denial, negotiate for a higher amount, or file a civil lawsuit and take your case to trial.

That process may sound straightforward, but it usually is not. You need an experienced attorney to provide crucial information, guidance, and support at every step if you hope to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. With 50+ years of combined experience, the Law Office of Kari H. Fawcett is well-equipped to help you reach that goal.

Legal Terms in Personal Injury Claims

Too many attorneys fail to clearly explain legal terms and processes and how they apply to your case. You cannot make informed decisions unless you understand terms like:

  • Negligence: A failure to behave as a reasonable person would in the same circumstances, resulting in an accident, injuries, and damages.
  • Damages: Categories of losses victims may experience due to their accidents and the funds they may receive to compensate or reimburse them for those losses.
  • At fault: Responsibility for causing your accident.
  • Liability: Responsibility for paying damages.

Law Office of Kari H. Fawcett always uses clear language in our discussions, but if you do not understand a concept, all you have to do is ask.
